New Delhi : A day after Citizenship Amendment Act came in force, a large number of women’s conducted protest against CAA where leaders of different faiths raised their voice against CAA and NRC, they tried to give a massage that at any cost they will not step back until the law is not rolled back.
Hundreds of women carried placards against CAA and NRC marched at Jantar Mantar and raised slogans against PM Narendra Modi & Home Minister Amit Shah. In the beginning the women sang songs like “Sare Jhan Se Achaa” & Hum honge Kamyab Ek Din”
One of the protester gained attention of the crowd by her speech and making crowd respond with slogans and applauses. Describing CAA and NRC as “draconian policies” being framed by the BJP government to divide the county on religious lines, she wondered why the government was implementing the Act when people were facing bigger problems.
“People have been asking for jobs, medical facilities and basic amenities. Instead of focussing on these issues, the BJP is implementing rules that are no good for the country. On the contrary, they are aimed at creating division among the citizens based on religion”.
However, the government and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been defending the Act saying that the minority groups from the three countries have no other option but to come to India when they face religious persecution there.
The protest came to end by reading the Preamble of the Constitution of India with the pledge that they will keep fighting.
